[SciPy-User] ANN: SciPy 0.10.1 release candidate 1

[Scott Lasley]

I downloaded scipy-0.10.1rc1.tar.gz from sourceforge and installed it on a MacPro running OS X 10.7.3, XCode 4.2.1, gfortran from the R Project, numpy 1.6.1 from sourceforge, and python 2.7.2 from python.org with these commands

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.7
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc
python setupegg.py build --fcompiler=gfortran
python setupegg.py bdist_egg
unset MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
unset CC
easy_install -U dist/scipy-0.10.1rc1-py2.7-macosx-10.6-intel.egg

scipy crashes python and python-32 in TestDoubleIFFT.  I get similar crashes with scipy 2.0.0.dev-8d1b91e and numpy 0.11.0.dev-912768f from github.
